Play by play

  1. 90'

    Not the highest quality encounter, then, but not short of excitement and incident. A deserved point for Liverpool, who left it late to salvage one, and it moves them into tenth place in the Premier League.

  2. 90'

    <B>FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 2-2 ARSENAL</B>

  3. 90'

    Now Arsenal come forward. Cazorla shoots and it's beaten away by Jones. Liverpool scramble the rebound cross away. Last-gasp Arsenal corner...

  4. 90'

    Can either side find a winner? It has to be said that Liverpool, on the balance of play, would not have deserved to lose this one.

  5. 90'

    It's a great header from Skrtel, who bullets it into the corner.

  6. 90'

  7. 90'

    And another Liverpool corner. Still about four minutes remaining.

  8. 90'

    Gerrard shoots, Sczcesny savs, and Lallana picks up the pieces to win a corner, which is promptly wasted. The corners from both sides today have been poor.

  9. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Nacho Monreal on for Alexis Sanchez, who has had a very quiet day by his own high standards.

  10. 90'

    Cazorla's shirt is ripped where borini's high challenge caught him. Meanwhile, an Arsenal change...

  11. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Now a yellow for Cazorla, who brings down Coutinho in midfield.

  12. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> A second yellow and a red for Borini. His cameo didn't last long.

  13. 90'

    Lambert hangs up a cross as the ball is played back to him, and it's acrobatically cleared. Borini makes another bad challenge -- late and high on Cazorla. I think he's going to get a red card here...

  14. 90'

    Sterling tries his luck from an angle. Saved. Corner...

  15. 90'

    And indeed it is -- there will be NINE additional minutes.

  16. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Joel Campbell replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as we go into what looks likely to be plenty of added time.

  17. 89'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> And a yellow card.

  18. 89'

    Borini is angry as he crunches in on Cazorla and is penalised. There's a show of dissent...

  19. 88'

    ... and another Arsenal header clear.

  20. 87'

    Borini again, from Gerrard's pass, forces a save from a tight angle. Another Liverpool corner...

  21. 86'

    Oxlade-Chamberlain loses he ball again. He might be struggling with a muscle problem. Liverpool come forward, and Borini's header is tipped over by Sczcesny.

  22. 86'

    Oxlade-Chamberlain miscontrols. There has been a lot of that, from both sides, today.

  23. 85'

    Coutinho fouls Coquelin, and the Liverpool man doesn't like the Gunners player's reaction. Free-kick Arsenal is the decision, though.

  24. 84'

    ...he brings it down and Coutinho takes over but can only lash the ball into the side-netting from a tight angle.

  25. 83'

    Lallana is lurking on the left, and that's where the ball goes...
